Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
  • the effect of the proposal on the provision of a mix of housing

What decided it

The modest harm to living conditions of occupiers at No 26 through loss of light to one room was outweighed by the wider public benefits of providing 5 additional dwellings and boosting housing supply, to which the Inspector gave great weight in the context of the Framework's objective to significantly boost housing supply.

The modest harm to the living conditions of occupiers of No 26 through loss of light was outweighed by the wider public benefits of providing 5 additional dwellings and contributing to housing supply, a factor given great weight in the context of the Framework's objectives.
